Would the
Cooler Master - Elite 460-Watt ATX CPU Power Supply
be an adequate PSU?
Cant really find a review.

that is one of the less then adequate power supplies they are compensating for.its a mediocre 350 watts if you consider build quality

Quit being cheap and buy a quality power supply, depending on future use you may not have to replace it for quite a while, and with a good UPS, you might have it last longer than the 11 years one of my servers P/S's has on it!!

Corsair CX400W would do just fine. 500W is overkill for the setup, even with overclocking.

if you can find the discontinues cx400...the new cx430 sucks :) 

if youre gonna get a psu from the antec basiq go for the 550w version, it has a bigger fan and better internal design that the lower-wattage version in that series

^^All the new PSU's of Corsair are pretty average. Expect for the AX series which is one of the best! The newer CX series is just a cheap replacement. Looks like letting go of Seasonic is hurting Corsair.
